A paying audience of some over
100 listened to Mrs. Livermore's lee
ture on Women of the War, Friday
eve, and judging from the earnest at
tentiveness of most faces the lecture
was highly enjoyed. The presiding
Judge was noticed in attendance and
old soldiers from various parts of the
county were present. In fact the au-
dience seemed composed largely of
strangers. The humor of reminis-
cences connected with the sanitary
commission was irresistible and
laughter frequently relieved the ten
sion of two hours close listening.
1t is to be regretted that more of our
people do not avail themselves of OPP
portunity for mental enjoyment of a
high order when it so seldom comes
to us in the form of a first class lee
ture.
Marshall A. Howe, who returned
to Vermont University Wednesday,
was so urgently called as assistant at
the Seminary in West Brattleboro
that he accepted the situation. Mr..
Howe has led his class in Burlington
and won a prize of S25 for extra work
in Latin last term.
W. S. Chase, nephew of W. n.
Chase, returned to Princeton College
last week. For the best original dec
lamation he was, last term, awarded
a prize of S25.

FLEEING WHEN no MAN PURSUETH

John G. Dancy goes for US this week
in the Star Of Zion, in his usual
style. and but for the respect we have
for our readers, we would apply the
proper name to his false statements
He starts out with falsehoods and ends
with the same. He says he thought
his question was pertinent. He says
our local editor knew nothing Of our
Whereabouts. That is false. Ii any
one told him the paper had suspended.
he knew it to be falsehood from an
enemy of ours. It. is always nnr
''chief delight" to. defend ourself
when attacked by sly innuendocs. aud
no one knows better than Dancy why
we are always ready to strike back
when they come from him. As to
what the Star gets. trDm the general
fund, the report shows that it got
5000 in 1885, and We did not sup
pose it was going back. We insinu-
ated that the Professors assisted in
getting out the Star in Dnncy's alb
sence, which no admits.
Dancy admits that 10 does not pay
his bills. but he says he was zen

This lie must have its proper name.
Why has he never told us this before
now ? and why does he always promire

eussed in these columns. Smith has
not one iota of feeling against the
Star. hut its sneaking and cowardly
editor must learn to treat US as man,
If he speaks Of us at all,
Dancy never uttered Islander more
base and false than when he says
Prof. Price ever scolded or reprimand-
ed us. Prof. Price knows us to be a
man, aud he or any other man who
does not. and attempts to treat us as
child. will then and t ere learn it.
The man that says We are mad with
the College is fool or knavc. 1t
is very unjust to the institution for
Dancy to try to make enemies for it in
this way. That was his dodge last
year. The Thornton and literary
affair is understood at the College. and
all there knows that Dancy tells II
falsehood when he says we wrote
Thornton not to come.
We are glad to see Dancy admit
that we voluntarily gave up our
position as foreman of the Star Office,
after his having made he impression
privately and through the Star that
VIC we're removed for cause There
we're words between Prof. Price and
us. but he accepted our explanation.
and to our face has ever treated us at
man. Dancy is the proper person
for us to make target of, as he is a
stack of fabrications and falsehoods.
and as soon as we begin to riddle him,
his only hope is to jump behind the
church aud the college.
As to the hest colored paper in tbr
state. We refer to statements IN IL,
North iStute and til" Omlook. Since
Dancy takes up the Farley matter,
suppose we go to Tarboro. and take
